Arena decks can have 12 (!) Shards of Sacrifice - how can you win against such a deck?  :'(

Yes it can work but most of the time SoV deck just suxx.

Instosis is a good deck to kill SoSac deck though.

Unless they run a dark mark to fit in eclipse/steal and go klepto on you. Or if they run a light mark and SoD up to 300 hp giving them a window for SoSa.

... so basically every non-mono SoSa deck. Ultimately I'm assuming you'd have to run a counter deck, but I'm not sure what kind of counter-SoSa deck to make that would also be good against other things. Probably some 500 EM deck, or a deck with heavy control like anti-matter and squids. But the thumbs system is keeping them relatively rare, even though they don't actually get thumbs'd down that much. I might work on a counter-SoSa deck actually at some point, sounds fun.

In arena they are like insanely strong decks. Each time I can place my SoSac in plat with some poison, I do top 10. :/

Purify.
Antimatter.
SoP.
Sundials.
Purple nymph.
SoV.

Yeah the card is OP in arena. :(

I can't take SoSac decks for this reason specifically. Ralouf, I'm coming after you.

I seem to be able to beat SoSa with Pestal. I get enough quanta drain with pests, so he doesn't do too much damage. Then healing with vamps, so I stay alive. It doesn't matter how much healing I'm giving him. The opp tends to run out of SoSa before I deck out.

One turn kill decks, deckout decks, and really really fast decks have ways to beat it.  I normally play rainbow control, and if I can avoid dying in the early game to whatever creatures/poison it plays, I can beat SoSa.  Monodeath SoSa is just really powerful right now; there's a reason it goes almost undefeated in the arena if you post it there.

Just use sosa too.
ai uses sosa less smart than we so if he has 70 cards (35 turns),
it doesn't have to mean he'll use all sosa because those are spread over it's whole deck
If you're weak, then run, but toward your enemy
